As well it should have been, because it was by definition a conspiracy. The mafia is still a conspiracy. That hasn't changed. It is made up of men conspiring to commit crimes.

If you mean to imply that the mafia was a big secret in the 1960s that wasn't confirmed to exist until later, that's patently false. There were published accounts of the Mafia at work (then under a different name) in the U.S. as far back as the 19th Century.

Okay, let me see if I have this New World Order thing straight. So there are high-powered Jewish bankers (who are also lizard people) lurking in the shadows running the world, and they are (or are somehow connected to) the Illuminati, an organization that publicly performs dramatic Satanic rituals under the guise of pop culture through the use of mindless blonde starlets in slutty dresses for... reasons. And also a winged goat dude is involved. And everything is driven by the mind-numbing chemicals spread by chemtrails, which turn people into "sheeple," except for the people who are somehow immune to all of this and are totally onto the evil and secretive doings of the Masons. (The Friday fish fries are just a front, and may also involve mind suppressants.)

Yes, for the most part. But you forgot the connection to the Annunaki and the aliens.

You've forgotten that the Illuminati are trying to get control of the spirit grid by installing military installation on top of the "hub points" around the planet which will grant them power to increase the consciousness level of the entire planet allowing us to communicate with every other creature on the planet. You've also neglected to mention the existence of the Emerald Plates left by Horus 5000 years ago.

I would like to think that I actually think I think that, but with all of the electrostatic interference I get during the winter, the MK-ULTRA microwave reception mind control device implanted into my head acts all funny.

I thought the Church of the Starry Wisdom wasn't connected to Cthulhu but the worship of Nyarlathotep's Haunter of the Dark form and the Shining Trapezohedron, where the Haunter of the Dark would grant you immense knowledge in exchange for lots of sacrifices.

Ratchet_of_knoxville:I got to tell you, this girl knows how to party. Last full moon we met at High Priestess Madonna's. After the ritual sacrifice of a random homeless guy (don't wory, he had no family and won't be missed) Taylor and I high ritualized sex in his blood. Madonna barked instructions at us from under her mask while Ke$ha (who is still considered "Unclean" until she preforms certain rituals) masterbated in the back ground while chanting praise to the dark ones. It was one hell of a party. Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Feh.

It's not a party until someone finds a new definition of pain and suffering as they are slowly digested over a thousand years in the belly of a sarlaac.

eyeq360:I thought the Church of the Starry Wisdom wasn't connected to Cthulhu

You might be right. Unfortunately, I can't check for sure, as the monotonous whining of muffled accursed flutes and pounding of detestable drums by the monstrous nuclear chaos outside angled space is eroding my sanity. If this keeps up, I'll have to join the state legislature....

The Kansas state legislature is full of crazies. The people who keep voting them in are crazy as well. You will fit in fine.

Transpogue:I still- after years of hearing about this Illuminati business- have yet to discern what this is even all about.

So a secret society exists? So what? Who cares?

So they control a bunch of stuff... again, so what? Who doesn't know that about four corporations essentially own everything?

Am I missing some huge mystique? What is the aim of the people who want to "expose" the members?

One could argue that conspiracy theories offer the same fundamental reassurance than religion does: the idea that, whatever ever to the contrary, there really is SOMEBODY somewhere who is controlling it all, that all the crap in your life isn't random, but is part of some Greater Plan.

There's also the attraction of being In The Know. Even if you don't get any tangible benefit from it, the knowledge of What's Really Going On sets you apart from, and makes you better than, the sheeple.

Yes... very much so YES!You see!PETA is in on it too... another blond starlet promoting the lizard people agenda.

ciberido:One could argue that conspiracy theories offer the same fundamental reassurance than religion does: the idea that, whatever ever to the contrary, there really is SOMEBODY somewhere who is controlling it all

There's probably something to that. But what about the people who go to church regularly and believe that the Lizard Vampires are corrupting our precious bodily fluids? Do they need more reassurance than their religion can provide? I'd guess that for those people, religion provides a social outlet and/or is expected by their peer group, while conspiracy theories scratch a different psychological itch. I Could Be Wrong. It's kind of a complex subject, after all.

Excuse my numbers... I meant the 40s & 50s.J. Edgar Hoover (FBI director) himself would refuse to believe in any organized crime."During the 1940s through mid-1950s, he seemed to ignore organized crime of the type that ran vice rackets such as drugs, prostitution, and extortion. He denied that any mafia operated in the U.S."

Taylor Swift appeals to WND's core demographic. Clean cut, virginal, and very Jesusy without being full out Christian Pop. Unless she's caught en flagrante with a 3 Satanists of various genders, they're not going to say anything.

There's this era of American history referred to as the "Prohibition Era." You should probably do a little research on the subject before you ask for an apology regarding a subject you're completely farking wrong about.

NostroZ:Treygreen13: I think this is the 2nd crazy ass illuminati greenlight I've seen lately. Always good for a chuckle.

It's strange to meet someone and they seem normal and then a conspiracy theory comes up and that person you felt like you knew seems like a rambling incoherent nutjob.

Not all conspiracy theories are created equal.

Here's a fun list that were later proven true.

Remember, the Mafia was considered a conspiracy theory in the 60s.

/Maybe the now-not-so-normal person you met thinks you're a gullible rube for believing everything that's told to you by authority.

Saying the GM streetcar conspiracy was proven true is only accurate if you ignore a lot of other situations that enabled it to work in a few cities. I don't expect much accuracy from Cracked, but if that's on a list it pretty much discredits the list and author from having anything useful to add to a conversation.

Those should be called "a list of conspiracy theories that have a tiny amount of factual backing to them." But that wouldn't drive page views as well.

They're all tools of Satan, who is preparing to come back as the anti-Christ in the form of (Clinton/Bush/Obama/Stephen Harper/Justin Bieber/Tom Cruise/etc) after we're all marked by the Beast also.

IT'S IN REVOLATIONS, PEOPLE!

/no, seriously, i've heard all of those people and more listed as the anti-Christ

No apology is necessary because the statement remains false. The fact that J. Edgar Hoover may have had his head in the sand (or merely publicly denied what he knew to be true for reasons of maintaining an "I'm in control" public face) is irrelevant to whether or not the mafia/organized crime was a known conspiracy prior to the '40s and '50s. And it was. Published accounts of the mafia's activities in America date to the 19th Century, especially in New York and New Orleans. Books like The First Family are filled with citations, newspaper clippings, extracts from police reports, and more from period sources that discuss the straight-up knowledge that there was an organized conspiracy among crime figures.

I mean, it would be kind of hard to claim that organized crime was a big secret not revealed until the '40s and '50s when none other than Al freakin' Capone was making headlines in the 1920s. The St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929 was huge news.

So I'm afraid that that I say is true. To imply that the mafia was a big secret in the 1960s that wasn't confirmed to exist until later, that's patently false. Even if we revise the dates back to the '40s and '50s, it remains false.

Only Hastur knows for sure, so go ask him. But you may have to say his name more than once to get his attention. He's a little absent-minded.

World English Dictionary conspiracy theory - n - the belief that the government or a covert organization is responsible for an event that is unusual or unexplained, esp when any such involvement is deniedThe head of the FBI saying there is no international organized crime outfit in the 40s & 50s fits the dictionary definition of the words I used. You can play the 20/20 hindsight game all you want. Tell me that Hoover had his head-up-his rear, whatever. You can list all the books that were written AFTER the fact that put some snippets all together.

Yet, the dictionary definition remains that the Mafia was a considered a conspiracy theory back then, and was later proven true. So true in fact, that now for me to call it a THEORY brings such animosity. So, I'm still waiting for my apology for calling my words patently false.

/Al Capone btw did not have international ties... as per Sicilian et all... he was just a big time Chi-town bootlegger.//Conspiracy theory is a dirty word.///Yet, you'd be a fool to think that some people would not conspire dark deeds for their personal gain.
